I really need a commercial gunsmithing kit for working on my guns, scopes, etc. Can anyone suggest the best kit to buy with all the needed tips, strength, etc. Am getting tire of ruining screws, bolts, with improper tools for working on my weapons. Thanks

I can't speak for gunsmith kits, but in general extensive "tool kits" are not the best. Seems to be all seconds which end p in them. For starters very few companies are good at making more than one or two types of tools.

"...or made from brittle materials..." They're supposed to break. The 'bits' are designed to break before the screwhead is damaged. The problem is that replacing them can be expensive and a nuisance. None of the smithies I know use them. They buy inexpensive screw drivers and grind them to fit.
Files and stones, improperly used, cause more damage than anything other tool. Except for a rotary tool like a Dremel.
